So I went to the drive in lsat night with a friend and saw Year One and Drag Me To Hell. Year One was pretty funny, but it wasn't as good as I expected.
Drag Me To Hell, however was just an after thought when we got there. I totally expected it to be Spider Man 3 Raimi, not TEDT Raimi. Suffice to say, it was probably the best movie I've seen this year.
It was hilarious beyond belief (at least to me), and had great props and gore. Now I'm not usually a horror fan but Rami being the best Jew in hollywood kinda moots my hatred for Horror flicks. And besides, it's not really even a horror movie. It has some scares, which weren't scary at all, but it was mainly a really slapstick campy violent comedy....just like the Evil Dead Trilogy, except the first.
The best part wasn't even the homages to his television and early horror career, but the talking goat and Ted Raimi's cameo. The former was the hardest I laughed all night and the latter I didn't notice until the credits rolled, but it was a nice tough.
Conclusion: If you liked the Evil Dead Trilogy, then this movie is really for you. Not the thousands of teens who go and get scared and fail to see the Raiminess of it all. It's not scary, just funny. Well worth my 4.75$.
However, if you go and see it for scares and you aren't said teen, and have never seen a Raimi, you'd probably still find it funny. You'd fail to get the true Raiminess of it all, (the wind camera, the windows blowing open, the jumpy deadites, and everything else that represents his awesome career as probably my favorite writer/director) but it's still a great campy film.
I'd probably pay the price to go see it in a Regal or whatever now fully aware of how awesome it is.
Anyone else see this here?
